fast hp with low pockets

[i_love_my_stang]

im not going to do it cheap, i have a budget of about 1000 a year for upgrades so im not going to bedoing it all at once i have time im not in a big rush to have it in the 12's, i was thinking of probally tric flow heads, holly intake and then a good cam to match that combo, then do the suspension new control arms shocks struts and subfram connectors, im in the process of putting 4.10s in and then maybe after all that ill put a nitros kit on it think that should get me into the 12s?

yep, however there are a plethora of variables that neither I nor you can know about until you get it out onto the track. Don't be so focused on one number also. Consitency is key rather then being fast.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

ya true, i still need to figure out how to drive it better on the track and stuff like that, but with a good driver that is a doable time?

Save up for the HCI change, cause it will be more than 1000. If you don't want to piece it together go with the trickfolw top end kit.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

oh i know its more then 1000, im going to piece it together. every mustang show i go to up here every one has the tricflow intakes i want to have something different then everyone

Driver mod is the best mod to have and its free. I only changed gears, exhaust and better tires from my first trip to the track w/ this car which at that time ran a 14.1 to the last run of the season which was a 12.8

 

[i_love_my_stang]

nice, ya i have to drive it better lol, which intake is better edelbrock performer or the holly systamax?

Just wanted to say...


Fast + Cheap = Impossible

Just wanted to say your wrong. First you have to define fast and then you need to define cheap for me. For a full weight street car your right. But if his car is just a toy then cheap and fast work very well without cutting corners.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

right now where im living it is just a toy lol, im not going to start ripping the interior out cuz i take it to shows and stuff and i have a full sound system in it. but i like show and go, go more though lol

The Poster said he wants 12's, I think that sets the bar of how fast he wants to go

 

[94 DropTop]

that wasnt to the him it was to duh09. You can cheaply build a fast car that is reliable. but cheap so one person is cheap to another. Hell where i live there isnt such thing as cheap i saw a 17yr old driving his own gt500 that his parents bought him. And if he does the work him self he will save lots of money and learn something. Or he can piss his money away and have someone do it for him.

There are people who put near stock 5.0's in the 13's, its been documented and proved over and over. However, it's not just a cake job, it takes time, alot of tweaking, alot of skill, and alot of patience. You drive the car alot and hard at the track, you'll progress faster, and learn how to drive it as it is.

a lot of people think the key to being faster at the track is throwing more power mods at it but in reality you should drive to your potential before throwing X amount of mods at the car

basically. I know stock 5.0s that are faster then modded PI 4.6 cars. My NPI gt was faster then a friggin pair of PI gt's that couldnt bust 8's and i did it on street tires. LEARN TO DRIVE is the key.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

ya its just pratice tobad im 3 hours away from any tracks

 

[Steven]

find a back road or your driveway. If your in the south you'll be alright

 

[LAFENATU]

lol Just Kidding Bro

I figured as much..lol

duh09 & 94 DropTop..

I'll extend your sayings a little....

Fast, Reliable, Cheap = Pick 2 of those.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

nope im north and west so mountains and snow + crappy roads big speed bumps cuz everyone drives trucks i only get the highway

Just to give you an idea, the last time i was at the track in my bolt on 95 gt I ran 14.1 with a 2.0 60 ft on stock 3.08 gears.

Mods: cai, DR's, shifter, x-pipe, smog delete, and weight reduction.

Since then ive added a 4" crank pulley, headers, more weight reduction, stickier DR's and about to install a 31 spline, full spool with 4.10's. With all this i should be about mid 13's with a n/a 230 rwhp 302. weight around 3100 with me in car.

If your interested in nitrous, go with 3.73 gears and a 100 shot and youll easily run mid/low 12's.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

i just put in 4.10s is that not going to go well with nitrous?
